GEGHARD, MARCH 2, NOYAN TAPAN. The Geghardavank choir headed by
abbot monk Ghevond Ghevondian will leave for Germany where it will
have concerts. The artistic head of the group is Artistry Candidate,
Assistant Professor Mher Navoyan, and the choir-master is Anahit
Papayan. This concert tour was organized under the UNESCO patronage,
within the framework of cooperation of Surb (Saint) Geghardavank
and medieval Lorsch Monastery in Germany. Cooperation of the
two monasteries started in 2001, when the representation of the

S.Geghardavank. As Noyan Tapan was informed by the Information Services
of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, the next tour of the choir to
Germany is the second one. Concerts will take place in the cities of
Munich, Augsburg, Stuttgart, Lorsch, Hanau, Darmstadt and Frankfurt
am Main. Armenian spiritual and people’s songs are involved in the
concert program. Under the patronage of Archbishop Garegin Bekchian,
the primate of the Armenian diocese of Germany, the choir will have
concerts for the Armenian community of the cities of Cologne and
Hanau on March 9 and 10.
